Its so sad that people go away on holiday and can't actually leave their telephone behind as well. And by "leave behind", I don't mean that literally, more that they really don't need to have it stuck to their ear all the time. But hey, that's me showing my age and I actually think it a boon to not have my telephone with mean when on holiday.

How very laudable, but try coordinating a dozen skiers and snowboarders of differing abilities across one of the largest ski areas in Europe without everyone using WhatsApp.

I went abroad for a week ladt year, before that a fortnight in 2014, before that ... 1997....

Why should I have my country invaded to allow you cheaper calls when you insist on taking your phone abroad and using it outside of resort based Wi-Fi ...
